The cocktails were amazing, the food was delicious, and the playlist was impeccable. Our server was great, had phenomenal taste in music, and also introduced me to a new favorite wine tonight. If you're going to a show at the Lincoln, this place is a must!

I recently contracted with Barkada to host my husband's 70th. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. The staff was friendly and accommodating to my guests. I have received many compliments from those attending, on the venue and the food---which was excellent and more than ample for a party of 24. I found the cost of the event to be very reasonable. I highly recommend Barkada for a simple quiet evening for two, or for your event planning.

Incredible place located right off the U St. metro. Some of the best white wine I've had in a long time and the bartenders always have incredible recommendations. Ambiance is fantastic, great happy hour, and just an overall incredible place to hang out, catch up with friends, and have a great glass of wine. 10/10 place!!

This place was great! Despite the amazing wine list and happy hour, this place was empty on a weekday which means my girlfriend and I could jam out on the playlist and the bartenders crafted wine flights that fit our tastes perfectly. A great array of interesting and unexpected wines. This is our new go-to spot.

Barkada let us host my birthday party there yesterday and we had such a good time. The staff are amazing! They really made everything so easy and I could not be more pleased. The food, drinks and wine offerings are plenty, offering something for everyone. Thank you for having us! We loved it.

Lovely wine bar. Intimate but not overwhelming vibe. Great for first dates. Best aperol spritz in the city imo. Sean is an amazing bartender - super personable!

Barkada hosted our private event and we were awestruck by the level of detail and care put into every element of our night. The atmosphere was chic and inviting, the drinks were delicious and unique, and we absolutely loved getting to know the professionals who made it all happen. I wholeheartedly recommend this space to anyone who wants to have a memorable event. We will definitely be back—we could not love this place more!!

Come here all the time. The staff knows me by name and always has recommendations for new wines to try. They also offer special events like wine tastings and once a month they do a drag queen hosted trivia night with prizes. The menu is geared to be well paired with wines. 5/5. Love Barkada. Best spot in DC for natural wines.
Every time I’m here I feel so chic and cute, the atmosphere is sophisticated and cute.Make sure to make a reservation bc it can get pretty busy on weekdaysThere’s no other queer natural wine bar in all of dc so if you’re looking for a special date night atmosphere or a cozy place to study or work this is where I would recommend. 10/10
Rating 1 star because after a 5 hour car trip, booked a dining room reservation via Resy 50 minutes prior to the reservation time (8:30). Took a 10 minute Uber in the pouring rain to the restaurant only to walk in and be told “oh, you booked a reservation? Well we just closed the kitchen because no one has come in tonight.” Had to find alternative dining arrangements huddled outside in the rain because they apparently do not use their booking app, even though times are still available on the app. So, I do not recommend booking via Resy. If you must go, be sure to call to make sure they will be serving anything when you arrive. The absurdity is that they charge $5/person for no shows…what does a reserving diner get when the restaurant no shows?

Amazing experience! Went with friends, an absolutely lovely day, wonderful food, vegetarian options (not many vegan options, if any), wine was AMAZING, cocktails AMAZING, service was very good with our needy and large group. Remember to email beforehand if you're bringing outside food and you may have to pay a cutting fee.
